Can I use a docking station to switch between my gaming tower and my work computer?
So I built my own PC and have two gaming monitors in extended mode. My office had a extra HP USB-C Dock G5 station laying around so I plan on using that as a switch between playing my video games and working on my work laptop as needed. Using this instead of running two additional HDMIS into a splitter then into my laptop.
Additional question: could I use a switching station to seamless switch between my work and gaming computer?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You're looking for a dual monitor KVM. IOGear makes several 2-Port, dual view models that we carry.
Once it's setup, you just hit a button to toggle between each system.
